existing as an independent entity; "the partitioning of India created two separate and autonomous jute economies"
Able to act independently. In the case of Swift, this means that the spacecraft can repoint itself without ground controllers feeding it commands.
A term that means independent; an autonomous investment is independent of the level of income.
Acting independently. Used to describe a bladder that acts on its own, with no control by the patient.
(1) of or relating to a self-governing entity, (2) self-governing with respect to local or internal affairs, (3) having the right or power of self-government.
An Autonomous differential equation does not explicitly use the independent variable (often denoted by ) in its formulation, i.e. it takes the form x' = f(x). Reaction rate constants are usually temperature dependent; the rate of a reaction usually increases as the temperature rises. The temperature dependence often follows Arrhenius' equation: k(T) = A exp(-Ea/RT) where T is the absolute temperature, R the universal gas constant, Ea is the activation energy (specific to each reaction), and A is the "pre-exponential" or "frequency" or "entropy" factor.
Independent able to move without other forces affecting it.
having the right or power of self-government; existing or capable of existing independently
A term used to describe continuous dynamical systems where time does not explicitly appear in the governing ordinary differential equations.
